Inward – An introspective retreat
The greatest journey you can take in this life is the six inches from your head to your heart. In the fast pace of modern life, making that sacred inner pilgrimage can feel almost impossible. This retreat will create the time, space, and guidance to return to yourself.
This is not just a reset; this is a return to, and an honouring of your heart’s deepest desire (Sankalpa). You will explore practices that allow this intention to rise from within and help you overcome behaviours that, consciously or unconsciously, limit your highest potential and the deeper purpose that longs to express through you.
Are you ready to make space for silence and self-enquiry to create change in your life and take the next step? This three-day immersion invites you to slow down, soften, and reconnect in nature at the beautiful sanctuary of Cheeky Fox Retreat in Kinglake.
Your experienced facilitators, Rayne Watkin and Sarah Machado, will guide you through a deeply supportive journey to help you realign with your inner wisdom—gently and effortlessly.
Brunch Among the Blooms
Brunch Among the Blooms is an exclusive seasonal experience at Bloom Into You Flower Farm in Flowerdale, Victoria. Just over one hour from Melbourne, this immersive gathering invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate the beauty of nature surrounded by vibrant seasonal blooms.
This curated event blends creativity, dining, and connection. Guests begin with a hands-on floral session led by guest designers, crafting a wild garden bouquet, a delicate flower crown, or a rustic table arrangement to take home. No experience is needed — just a love of blooms and a desire to create.
A thoughtfully curated menu is then served at a beautifully styled long table set among the flowers. Fresh flavours, seasonal produce, and elegant presentation create a feast for the senses. A glass of the season — sparkling, botanical, or still — adds the perfect finishing touch.
Guests can also wander the flower fields with snips in hand, gathering fresh blooms to incorporate into their creations and to take home as a memory of the day.
As part of A Summer in Bloom, visitors may also enjoy Gather and Bloom: Twilight Pick or extend their stay at Villa Minto luxury accommodation overlooking the farm.
Early bookings are recommended.
